The local market briefly made a new four-month high yesterday after a strong rally off the lows. It remains to be seen if any retracement is short and sweet or a more protracted move.

It could be argued that the price of gold is forming a bearish flag type pattern. With uncertainty over how the US election pans out volatility could increase in markets until the dust is settled.

Tyro looks to have made a decisive break higher.

Smartgroup is forming an interesting pattern.

Collins Food looks to be posturing for a move higher if it can overcome the resistance zone.

Goodman Group has popped higher after some sideways action and we will buy some for the educational portfolio today.

Downer moved higher on news of some big infrastructure spending in the recent budget.

We bought parcels of Bapcor and Carsales when they moved higher late last week.

This graph shows how well the US based Nasdaq has been going over the last seven years compared to the All Ordinaries accumulation index.
